I've read quite a lot of hard sci-fi and speculative fiction lately. The whole genre is pizza to me. So Devs was a shoo-in for my watchlist as soon as I saw the first trailer. I really enjoyed seeing Offerman in a serious role, he's so much more versatile than I would have guessed. Overall, the series did a lot of things right, and the finale managed to be ambitious without venturing too far into self-parody.
There were definitely some plot holes along the way (I think Alex Garland expects audiences to ignore those in favor of the meticulously composed sets and soundscapes, and hey, I'm willing to do that). And the technological premise only reached the level of what I would call "Wikipedia-hard" science fiction. But still an enjoyable romp.
I appreciate a show with a beginning and an end. Too many good sci-fi shows end up falling apart when they have to build a plot beyond one season.
